Amazon.com Review
Moderately priced, this classic steam-and-dry iron comes unencumbered with bells and whistles but delivers on ironing day with 1100 watts of power and a polished aluminum soleplate that heats up extra hot for pressing away tough wrinkles. The iron operates the old-fashioned way: Press a button on the handle for dry ironing, or pop it up for steam. Fill the water tank through the large hole on the front of the handle. Turn the dial to select temperature, using the large, easy-to-read guide printed on the iron. The iron has a comfortable handle and the soleplate has a button guide. This appliance carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Just like Mom's5
I bought this Classic Black & Decker Iron for my elderly mother a couple of months ago. It is almost exactly like her old black iron I remember from my childhood. The steam button on her old iron was red. This one is an orange color, but other than that, it pretty much looks like her old iron.
This iron also performs like Mom's old iron. The first time she used it, she immediately put the setting on "5" for ironing cotton. She remembered that "6" was too hot for her cotton clothes (with her old iron), even though the iron says "6" is the number for ironing cotton. She was right. I ironed a pair of shorts and it did a very good job.
This iron has not leaked, but it might be a good idea to iron a few strokes on your ironing board or some spare cloth if you use water for steam, to make sure it doesn't spit or leak. But that is only at first, then you should be good to go. The cord is of average length, like the old irons. And like I said above, the iron gets extremely hot on high settings so you might want to put it on the lowest steam setting at first to test it.
I am giving this iron five stars because it is what it says it is - a classic iron. I would rather have an iron like this than any of the weird looking new-fangled irons. Thanks to Black & Decker for bringing back a small part of my childhood, and making my mother happy.
Pefect & Old Fashioned5
I bought this iron after a visit to my in-laws house. My mother-in-law had this ancient iron and I was actually scared to use it but it did a fast and fabulous job. The weight of the iron helped press all the wrinkles out. My mom-in-law said she could not find this iron anywhere to replace her old one and refused to buy one of the newer more flimsy models.I finally found this one and bought one for myself and after LOVING it, I bought one for my mom-in-law too! She loves it too because not only is it heavy it is also has a steaming feature that works great.
Good price, decent iron4
I recently bought this iron for more in a department store. It seems to work just fine. The only negative is that there is no gage where you can check how much water there is. The water didn't have trouble going in, though (or coming out) and it is an attactive iron indeed.
